The origin
Your Morning Started in Yemen
Before coffee became a global ritual, it traveled from Yemen’s mountain terraces through the Port of Mocha and into the world.
This evening brings that story to life through food, Yemeni coffee, storytelling, music, and hospitality.

The Port That Named This Coffeehouse
